Our Donkey Weight Tape has been scientifically researched over many years using over 1,000 donkeys both from the UK and Kenya, with the invaluable help of the Donkey Sanctuary, Sidmouth, Devon and initially Warwickshire College, Moreton  Morrell.  

It was found that a weigh tape specifically for donkeys was required when estimating the weight of a donkey over the age of four. Tapes for horses and ponies skewed the results and were not accurate enough. This was mainly due to differences in digestion, metabolism and weight distribution.

 

 

Why is it necessary to estimate the weight of your donkey?

 
  • To ensure that the correct dose of wormers and veterinary drugs are given.
  • To monitor that the correct nutrition is being given.
  • To monitor the weight when travelling your donkey in a horsebox or trailer.
  • Essential for working, driven, ridden and showing donkeys

    For a donkeys social and behavioral needs to be properly met, donkeys need other donkeys as a companions. This is especially true for young donkeys who are still developing behaviorally. For this reason, we will not adopt out single donkeys unless they are going home to be with another donkey. Mules make great companions for horses and other mules but are not suitable companions for donkeys. Horses, goats sheep, and chickens are also not suitable companions for donkeys. Please keep this in mind when adopting a donkey.
